I believe Scalia and Thomas are both Fed Society members. At the very least they support it. There is a difference between worshipping at the alter of liberal precedent, on the one hand, and having a penetrating grasp of the founders, the Constitution and the founders' Constitutional debates, on the other. Are you really going to argue that Meirs had the latter?

That was NOT the argument. She was criticized precisely because she wasn't well versed in "precedent".

The laws belong to the people, not to the "experts" in Constitutional law.
